England Futsal is delighted to announce a strategic partnership with sports technology experts, Sport:80, levelling up our ability to harness technology and data when communicating and interacting with the futsal community, ultimately driving our sport forward into an exciting future.
England Futsal Board Member, Andrew Hicks, says partnering with an organisation like Sport:80 is the logical next step in our journey to grow futsal:
“We’re excited to begin this next phase of our growth in partnership with Sport:80 as we plan and build a more sustainable model for futsal in this country. Like many national sporting bodies, we operate within limited resources, so having the support of an experienced partner such as Sport:80 will be instrumental in helping us scale effectively.
Strong communication with our community and the ability to deliver a reliable, high-quality service are central to our future plans. Sport:80 bring significant expertise within the NGB space, and we’re pleased to be working with an organisation that shares our vision for the long-term development of futsal. I’d like to extend my thanks, on behalf of everyone at England Futsal, to Jonny and the Sport:80 team for their work in bringing this partnership to life.”
Founded in Sheffield in 2012, Sport:80 work with a large range of sporting organisations, from amateur clubs and grassroots leagues, to professional clubs and national sports governing bodies. They currently have more than 2 million active users across 80+ clients, including England Athletics, Motorsport UK and British Fencing.
Using extensive experience in sport, along with a love of technology, Sport:80 will support England Futsal to build a strong, connected and loyal community that engages with, and benefits from, its national body.
This process will include but is not limited to:
An integrated and rewarding membership model hosted on Sport:80’s innovative and tech-savvy platform.
Seamless event organisation and ticketing, which allows the community to come together and celebrate all forms of futsal from youth grassroots to the senior national teams.
A forward-thinking CRM platform that provides England Futsal with the agility and tools to better serve all groups within the English futsal community.
Sport:80 Chief Operating Officer, Jonny Turner, welcomes the partnership and can see clearly the size of the sport’s potential:
“England Futsal have an extremely exciting vision for how they want their sport to grow, and that clarity makes this partnership particularly exciting for us. We will be providing a system that supports their ambitions in a practical, sustainable way, bringing data, communication, and operational tools into one connected environment.We’re really looking forward to working alongside their team as they continue to build participation, develop talent, and strengthen their community.”
